2025 NFL mock draft: Latest expert picks split on Shedeur Sanders’ landing spot

Show Caption

The 2025 NFL draft is just weeks away, and it appears the Tennessee Titans are nearing a decision with the No. 1 overall pick.

The Titans are overwhelmingly favored to select Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 pick. Tennessee canceled its planned meeting with Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, all but guaranteeing Ward will be the team’s quarterback of the future under Brian Callahan.

While that pick can soon be written in pen, the rest of the draft remains unpredictable. It isn’t clear exactly which direction the Cleveland Browns will go with the No. 2 overall selection. Shrouded in even more mystery is the New York Giants‘ selection at No. 3, where Sanders has frequently been mocked to them but may not be the team’s top choice.

In which direction will these teams go, and what will the ripple effect be from their choices? A wide range of outcomes could have a particularly significant impact on Sanders’ stock. He could tumble down the board without many obvious landing spots if he doesn’t go within the top three selections.

How could the first round of the 2025 NFL draft look? Here’s a look at several mock draft predictions from draft analysts around the web.
